Fukrey

My review: Fukrey

Success of a movie is often related to how the makers are able to masquerade the flaws in their work for not every one can come out with a  perfect movie all the time. Mrighdeep Singh Lamba has done that so well in "Fukrey" which he has scripted with Vipul Vig in addition to directing it. Starring largely unknown and upcoming actors "Fukrey" is fun for the two and odd hours of its running time. 

Though the main theme of the movie which is centered around how the protagonist can tease out clues from his friend's dream and win lottery seems ridiculous, the success of the script lies in its capacity to make the viewers not to question it but to join in the fun. Lucid writing with lots of funny situations spiced further by funnier dialogues makes it enjoyable to the core. Very few dull moments in the movie, good writing is backed by good direction and flawless acting. Mrighdeep has extracted excellent work from all the actors including the extras. 

Among the actors it is Richa Chadda as the fiery Bholi Punjaban and Varun Sharma as Choocha who steal the show. Each and every  sequence in which they come face to face is a scream. Richa is so effortless and casual in her portrayal of a neatly written character while Varun is brilliant in the character whose appearance on screen is just enough to evoke laughter right from his introduction scene.

 Pulkit Samrat as the main protagonist of the movie Hunny is earnest in his work while Manjot Singh and Ali Fazal lend adimrable support. Priya Anand does well in a short and sweet role of her's. Vishaka Singh is good too in more of a serious role unlike others in the lead cast. Pankaj Tripathi as Pundit is awesome with his dialogue delivery especially his use of English words at every opportune moment.  

Ram Sampath's background score amply support the movie's flow with songs helping more in aiding the flow of the movie rather than acting as a speed-breaker. K.U.Mohanan's cinematography does justice to the story that needs to be told in a simple manner. His lighting in certain scenes like the night sequences warrant special mention. 

On the whole, "Fukrey' is the kind of movie that one can enjoy with a whole gang of friends, leave the thinking shoes at home and relax in a laid back manner in the theater. 

Bottomline: Have a blast...!

3.5/5
